DPR 523L (09/2013)
Identifier: CRM TECH 1885-67 Date Constructed: 1950
UTM Zone: 11S, 564544 mE; 3726184 mN
Neighborhood: The Cove
Tract: Santa Carmelita Unit No 14; Recorded June 30, 1935, MB 18/83
Owner and Address: Thomas E Berg, Deborah J Berg; 4353 Palos Verdes Drive S, Rancho Palos Verdes CA 90275
Updated Description: The 51431 Avenida Navarro residence was constructed in 1950 in the La Quinta Cove neighborhood. The
one-story single family home was constructed as a Spanish Styled Ranch. The residence has a rectangular plan with a low-pitched
side-gable roof. Exterior walls are of painted brick masonry. The front elevation features two large multi-pane casement windows.
The roof eave extends to form a front porch roof supported by narrow posts. Since the previous survey, the decorative metal porch
beams have been replaced with simple wood poles. There does not appear to be any other significant changes to the residence.
Updated Significance: This dwelling is a contributor to the La Quinta Cove Thematic Historic District which is considered eligible
under Local Criterion B (events) for its association with the Residential Development theme. The Cove district is also considered
eligible under Local Register Criterion A (special element) as the first residential subdivision within the boundaries of the city
constructed with Spanish Revival style homes and eligible under Local Register Criterion E as a geographically definable area
possessing a concentration of buildings, structures, and improvements linked historically. The dwelling retains integrity from the
1935 to 1950 period of significance for the Cove. Because the district is not formally designated, it is assigned a 5D2 status code:
Contributor to a multi-component resource that is eligible for local listing or designation.
The dwelling has not been found individually eligible under NRHP/CRHR/Local Criterion A/1/B, as it has not been associated with
significant events or patterns of events in local, regional, state, or national history; not individually eligible under Criterion B/2/B, as it
has not been identified as having an association with an important person; not individually eligible under Criterion C/3/C, as it does
not embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction; and not individually eligible under Criterion
D/4/D, as further study of the dwelling would not appear to yield information which could be considered important in local, regional,
state, or national history. Additionally, the property was not found to be individually eligible under Local Register Criterion A, as it
was not found to exemplify a special element of the City of La Quinta. As the dwelling has not been substantially altered, this
dwelling maintains integrity from the historic period.
